They Have A Tell-Tale Shimmer: 10 Of ‘Archer’s’ Most Visually Distinctive Homages To Movies

As you may have gathered from the title of tonight’s Archer, the episode features quite the homage to Midnight Run (and as you’ve probably also guessed, is amazing). So to prep the brilliant folks over at Floyd County were kickass enough to help me research and provide sparkling images for many of the most visually identifiable film homages the show has produced over its three-plus seasons.

Should you have picked up on all of these as they happened? Yes. Are they in alphabetical order by movie, including a link for comparison’s sake in case you didn’t? Also, yes.

S3’s “Space Race” as a whole may have been a fairly elaborate Moonraker parody, but the power loader was all Ripley.

Of course the biggie being Danger Zone tip to Top Gun, but “WINGMAN” also tipping to the same film as well. I recall a Monty Python And The Holy Grail tip somewhere in the series, I can’t remember what/where it was.
